Business photo shoot

Hey family and friends!
I have to share this blog post from my photographer friend here in Chicago. We had a photo shoot together a few weeks ago, and the results were pretty fabulous! :-) Can you tell I like to have my photo taken?

I scheduled this photo shoot so that I could get updated head shots for business and you'll soon see my updated mug on our wedding website and on the social sites.

Recipe: Two Dips

No, I'm not talking about some dumb people, I'm talking about two new dips I tried for Easter dinner with my cousin and her husband. I made two dips...just in case one of them wasn't so good.

The consensus favorite dip was Giada De Laurentiis' Marscapone-Chive Dipping Sauce.

4 strips bacon, cooked until crisp, chopped finely
1 cup (8 oz) marscapone cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Combine all 4 ingredients and then salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pita chips.



The next dip was good, and actually would be excellent with a lamb dish. It is a Cucumber Yogurt Dip from Sandra Lee. Very refreshing!

1 medium hot house cucumber
1 cup fat free plain yogurt
1 cup fat free sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon greek seasoning

Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise and then grate. Combine all the ingredients and then salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pita chips.

Enjoy!
